Model Railway Forum

Thank you all for your help. Very useful information. Although it does make me wonder why manufacturers produce locos that don't have any available rolling stock to use with them? Another case in point are the Heljan Bo Bo Metropolitan locos. I've been looking for appropriate rolling stock for those...

Ah, right thank you for that. So theres nothing RTR thats even close or appropriate then?

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to which coaches would be appropriate for this loco please?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. Tha'ts very useful information. Not heard of Radley Models till now and they look nice, although as you say quite expensive (as I'd like at least 2)
Will look around for those Hornby ones. But I have to remove the LNER lettering ,yes?
Many thanks again for your help.

Thank you for that. I looked at those Hornby teak coaches. I assume all I have to do is remove the LNER lettering? Are they the ones with the R4572/R4574 part numbers?
What about the really early Bachmann Southern Birdcages?
Thanks again for the advice.

Hi all, thanks for having me. Although my main hobby isn't model railways I do have have a layout featuring all things Southern, pre and post war and mainly branch lines etc. My biggest headache is knowing which rolling stock should run with which loco...Hence my first question. I was in Kernow mode...

Indeed. Such a shame as my main modelling hobby is plastic kits. He used to have a great selection of those too. Haven't been to the shop since mid last year. Mind you we do like Poppins cafe at the other end of the parade...... Nearest decent shop to us now is probably Time Machine in Maidenhead or...

Hello to you too. Ah, Hazlemere...you must rememember when Childs was a decent railway model shop then....
